Calming Down Social Story
Social stories use a patient and reassuring tone to teach children about social situations in a way that can be easily understood. Social stories are particularly useful for children on the autistic spectrum for whom social cues can be challenging and who often suffer anxiety if they do not know what to expect from a situation however social stories can also be useful for any child who is struggling to understand a situation or concept or needs help to understand a social skill or social cue, expectations, perspectives, common responses or is troubled about an upcoming event.
This social story is about the importance of calming down after getting angry or frustrated. It acknowledges that sometimes things can make you feel angry, frustrated or sad and that these feelings are ok but that when these feelings lead to a tantrum that is not ok and that we need to calm down. It also gives examples of some calming strategies.
These books should be used over and over to reinforce the point so I would suggest either putting the pages into a display book or laminating and binding them.
